It's been a busy time since I last posted so there are lots of pics in this one..

First up a return visit to Snake Gully Quilters in Muswellbrook and a stay with lovely Liz and Robert.

Looks like I forgot to take pics of the actual workshop - Noodle Box quilt - but I did take some from show-and-tell at the end. Above is Roz's mini version of my Sunflower quilt. Nice arrangement of lights and darks in the flowers too.

The group has been doing a project with Jenny Rofe using a border print. How good is this WIP!

Two new members on the committee, Susan and Vicki had a fun time assembling their first set of frames. They'll certainly be given a spanner again next year!

But it's not just about hanging the quilts. Sandy was busy collating badges for all the volunteers who help out over the weekend - this year we had an staggering 50 helpers over the five days it takes to organise and run the show.

When you volunteer on hanging day it's an opportunity to see all the quilts in advance and get up close and personal with them.

Even husbands are called into action and Graham was there every day in some capacity - hope that bottle of wine was some reward for all your hard work!

We have a Viewers Choice prize each day of the show and our Publicity Officer Rachaeldaisy won it on day three with her Happy as a Clam quilt. See the show blog (written by Rachael) for the Viewers Choice winners on other days and lots of great pics from the show.

Another pic sent to me, this time from Linda in NZ who blogs here. She's done a beautiful job with her Emperors Wheel quilt and has a few posts on the blog about her process with the quilt.

And lastly, a quilt in the latest issue of Homespun magazine. Rolling Star was an exercise in curved piecing and the blocks have 3D prairie points around the outside. The fun border is foundation pieced little fans.
